Columbus residents cautioned about ‘brake checking' and staged accident risks
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A warning about a specific type of staged auto accident, sometimes referred to as brake checking, has gained much attention after being posted on social media. The notice, which appeared on Nextdoor, quickly received several reactions and comments, with others acknowledging they had experienced similar situations. 'Beware! Brake checkers trying to cause intentional accidents on 670E and exited on Leonard Ave.,' the site member wrote. Trace Adkins, Taylor Swift tribute join concert lineup for 2025 Ohio State Fair When someone asked, 'What are brake checkers?' another answered, 'They pull in front of you fast from an adjacent lane then brake.' 'That's exactly what happened to me,' a person echoed on the platform. 'They zipped past me, pulled in front and braked hard.' Another commenter described a highly suspicious accident they believed was most likely perpetrated by fraudsters. 'I had one get me at a light by stopping super fast at the green, and it was in a right curve,' the commenter wrote. 'I was looking and paying attention just didn't react fast enough, and they literally gave me a notebook (opened already to a blank page) & a pen; as soon as they jumped out of the car: I'm like nope I'm calling the law, THEY BOUNCED OUT SO FAST!' 'Thank you for the public notice,' said a grateful reader. 'Reminds me to put my dash cam in already!' The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), a not-for-profit that educates about insurance crimes, refers to the scenario as the 'swoop-and-squat,' which can include additional vehicles driven by the criminals. Delaware Hayes High School students win NASA app development challenge 'The driver of the 'squat' vehicle pulls in front of the victim's car,' the organization explains on its website. 'The driver of the 'swoop' vehicle pulls in front of the squat vehicle, causing the driver of the squat vehicle to hit his brakes. The victim cannot react in time and rear-ends the squat vehicle. The swoop vehicle races off and is not seen again. The victim then typically is responsible for any vehicle damage and personal injury to passengers in the squat vehicle.' The group also noted that, when on the highway, the swoop-and-squat can involve three cars driven by bad actors. One auto is used to pin the victim in their lane while another person slams on the brakes in front of the unsuspecting driver. The NICB recommends a few points to avoid becoming a victim of a staged accident, including: Avoid tailgating. Always call the police to an accident scene. Document damage and the number of occupants in the other vehicles with cellphone photos. Avoid people who suddenly appear and suggest specific doctors and attorneys. These people are called 'runners' and 'cappers.' Be suspicious of tow trucks that show up when not called for service. They are often 'cappers' for body shops. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Blake Shelton brought his friends for a night of country at TD Garden
Shelton kicked things off with the bar-is-open anthem 'Pour Me A Drink.' With a baritone that he was perpetually revving up, Shelton leaned into the persona he long honed on 'The Voice,' a rascal never pushing so hard that he ended up at 'jerk.' 'A Guy With A Girl' was humility delivered with cockiness, while the Jimmy Buffett-recalling (and -referencing) 'Some Beach' winked at its sideways-naughty title without being overly coy about it. And if he was slick enough to keep singing even as he autographed an onstage fan's sign during 'All About Tonight,' he still didn't sacrifice the song's good-time jolt. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The career-leapfrogging jump from his very first single (the slow but heavy-hitting 'Austin,' where he changed a key line to 'Can't you tell, this is Boston, and I still love you'), to his latest ('Texas') inadvertently catalogued Shelton's drift from affecting country weeper to Post Malone-style pan-genre featurelessness.. So the periodic arrival of his support acts, each one taking the stage and singing with zero fanfare or introduction, served the additional purpose of grounding him in the genre that birthed him. Morgan was laid-back and comfy on 'That's What I Love About Sunday' and dug in for a little more grit on the chugging thump of 'International Harvester.' With more molasses in his deep-voiced drawl and his hat pulled low over his eyes, Trace Adkins played everything close to the vest, but he had a relaxed command on the down and dirty groan of 'Honky Tonk Badonkadonk' and the pre-nostalgia of 'You're Gonna Miss This.' Advertisement Shelton performing with Craig Morgan, Trace Adkins, and Deana Carter. Jamie Wendt Best of all was Deana Carter, who came out joyous and strummy with 'We Danced Anyway' – which suggested Sixpence None The Richer playing 'I Hope You Dance' – and 'How Do I Get There' before wrapping up with a lovely 'Strawberry Wine,' a slow dance held tight. All four singers performed an acoustic set together at the tip of the stage, with one song from each, as the others joined with almost offhand vocals and guitar. Carter shone there, too, with 'You And Tequila,' a raw nerve of a song sung in a weary, defeated voice. From there, Shelton took things home with George Strait's Western-swinging 'All My Ex's Live In Texas,' the rolling clomp of Alabama's 'Mountain Music' and the dark, twangy glare of 'God's Country,' complete with heavy, Bonham-esque drums. The good-natured bluster and sneer of 'Boys 'Round Here' brought things to a temporary close before an encore of 'God Gave Me You' closed things for real on a note of gratitude. 'God almighty, man, I love country music,' Shelton said as he launched into that final stretch, and he didn't make it hard to see why. Emily Ann Roberts was the only artist of the night to get a dedicated set all to herself, which was both a blessing and a curse. Her opening slot, covering girls'-night-out sass, frisky Appalachian boot-stompers and devotional music, had the feel of her being left out (with an undercurrent of an acknowledgement that she was still too green to sit at the big kids' table), but it also gave her a chance to breathe that not even the headliner was afforded.
